GBRMPA maps..ya got ta' laugh

[Kerry]

Kerry you don't need to confuse the shit out of everyone by talking about ancient maritime laws to get that point accross. You can hardly talk about not reading or understanding posts.

hey you little arogrant prick this is what is actually involved in the actual GBRMPA zoning plans but you not knowing or realizing what this post was actually about shouldn't surprise anyone so go ask them why they talking about old laws, THIS WAS THE WHOLE QUESTION OF THE POST marking boundaries and how jo blow knows how to locate the boundaries for their own protection if you hadn't realized.

But then when wacks start sprouting off about GPS being accurate to a metre or so in the context of these zonings then I simply shake my head, but then I've heard worse.

Cheers, Kerry.

So anyway, moving on - should we just ask the government to put a marker on all the spots where the green zones cross the beach? That would force them to resolve the issue of the cannon law.

If you are allowed to fish somewhere going by the map but not by the official rules and you got booked for it you would take it to court and get off..

Having watched the debate over GBRMPA, Green Zones and Fisheries Management from the sidelines for some time, I could no longer sit in silence and registered with Ausfish yesterday

The debate has been interesting but I could not sit idle when I read a statement made in all inocence that is not just misinformed but in fact WRONG.

Sorry jockey but I can't sit back without commenting on your posts.

While I disagree with a lot of your comments, your statement regarding relying on GBRMPA's maps and using this as a defence where you innocently break the law is WRONG.

Ignorance of the law is no defence. Ask a WA pro crayfisher. He sought advice on where he could and couldn't fish from the appropriate Govt Dept and was later convicted for fishing in a closed area because he was given the wrong advice. The judge stated he would rather the charge had not been brought before the courts but had no choice. THE LAW WAS BROKEN AND THAT WAS THAT.

If anyone thinks that accidentaly fishing in a green zone will be forgiven THINK AGAIN. THE MAPS ARE NOT THE LAW THE ZONING PLAN IS.

Slightly off topic BUT...... In the old days of 27meg CB, we used to have the RATBAGS who liked nothing more than to interrupt and ramble on with rubbish, talk bloody garbage and hold the button down etc, to get a reaction from anyone willing to satisfy their warped ego, by coming back at them or answering their calls etc. All that it achieved was for the regular blokes and sheilas to get upset by the carrying on of the RATBAGS who thrived on the inconveniences that they caused.
The way that we fought back was by NEVER replying or acknowledging them in any way. This must have infuriated some of the RATBAGS as they tried everything to get a response from anyone, without success.
Eventually the RATBAGS disappeared and all was well and when a new one appeared we gave him/her the same treatment.
WORKED EVERY TIME!

cheers Baldy
